With the September 2006 revision, both models have Core Duo processors. Be careful about the disks you get, and if in doubt, buy the retail edition.Kudos to Apple for abandoning the Intel Core Solo used in the original entry-level Intel Mac mini. Yes, and it won't be known until you have it in your hands.Again, this would require the OS already be installed. Through there, you could use diskutil to see if the drive was recognized. The closest you would get would be Single user mode, which is just an extension of the operating system itself. There is no operating system, recovery system, really anything to support booting into from your disk selector.Booting from USB is supported on your machine The operating system you made the drive from is not supported on your computer by a few generations, likely causing the issue.It is highly recommended that you opt right for the Snow Leopard retail DVD as there is no upgrade path from Tiger -> Snow Leopard for free. There is a remote chance that you may be able to order the recovery media through Apple's phone support - we used to do it when I worked for Applecare - but due to the age it is less likely that they would have it and/or would have shipping times under 2wks. You can find retail copies of the discs on eBay or other various sites. You will either need to order a set of restore discs for this particular system (as discs do not necessarily work between models, make sure to get the right ones) or find a retail copy of either Tiger (Make sure it is newer than 10.4.6), Leopard or Snow Leopard. Yosemite is not supported on the Early 2006 iMac - it can only go up to Snow Leopard v10.6. Will this require an install disc after all and how will I know that it'll work?.Screen where I can see that I successfully installed the hard drive?
Notorious for not wanting to boot off of USB?Ĭomputer then boot into Startup Manager anyway?
When I press the Option button to try and get into Startup Manager, it does nothing. When I plug the USB drive in and boot it up, I still get the blinking questionmarked folder. Needless to say that I do not have the install discs for it anymore! But I do have another Mac computer, so I followed these directions to create a boot USB but did the same thing for Yosemite: Recently, I've gone through the trouble of replacing the hard drive on my Mac with the model A1174, which the Internet says is a iMac "Core Duo" 2.0 20-Inch Early 2006.
